The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services issued a 72-hour outlook on July 20, 2026, warning residents to prepare for reduced visibility and moderate air quality due to an influx of Saharan dust.

Haze and Air Quality Concerns While Tuesday is expected to see only a “film” or slight haze, conditions are forecast to worsen by mid-week.

Weather advisories have been issued for Wednesday, July 22, and Thursday, July 23, urging caution as moderate haze could impact those with respiratory sensitivities. The Atlantic High Pressure System remains the dominant weather feature, facilitating the movement of these dust patches across the region.

The chance for significant rainfall remains low through most of the period. Both Tuesday and Wednesday are forecast to be fair to partly cloudy with only a chance of isolated showers.

However, weather patterns are expected to shift late Thursday, becoming partly cloudy with a few showers possible by the end of the day.
